Genes affected
RTEL1 (HGNC:15888): (regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1) This gene encodes a DNA helicase which functions in the stability, protection and elongation of telomeres and interacts with proteins in the shelterin complex known to protect telomeres during DNA replication. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dyskeratosis congenita and Hoyerall-Hreidarsson syndrome. Read-through transcription of this gene into the neighboring downstream gene, which encodes tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 6b, generates a non-coding transcript. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
RTEL1-TNFRSF6B (HGNC:44095): (RTEL1-TNFRSF6B readthrough (NMD candidate)) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring RTEL1 (regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1) and TNFRSF6B (tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 6b, decoy) genes on chromosome 20. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is unlikely to produce a protein product. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpNov 16, 2023Variant summary: RTEL1 c.1421-9G>A alters a non-conserved nucleotide located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.2e-05 in 237398 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in RTEL1 causing Dyskeratosis Congenita (Hoyeraal Hreidarsson Syndrome) (4.2e-05 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1421-9G>A in individuals affected with Dyskeratosis Congenita (Hoyeraal Hreidarsson Syndrome) and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Three submitters have reported this variant to ClinVar after 2014 with conflicting assessments (likely benign, n = 2; uncertain significance, n = 1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
